[AMBER] Error parametrizing ligand covalently bound to cysteine using GAFF

Hi,

Sorry for the duplicate, I think my answer to the previous thread I started didn't get through.

I am trying to parametrize a non-standard residue (biliverdin) covalently bound to a cysteine residue. I am following the Amber tutorial: Simulating the Green Fluorescent Protein and Building a Modified Amino Acid Residue. I downloaded the .ciff file for the JRA ligand from PDB, produced the .ac file using antechamber, and my .mc file looks like this:


HEAD_NAME CAC

TAIL_NAME CAC

OMIT_NAME H27

PRE_HEAD_TYPE SG

POST_TAIL_TYPE SG

CHARGE 0.0


where CAC is the atomname of the biliverdin atom that is covalently bound to the SG atom of the nearby cysteine residue (which I renamed as CYX instead of CYS), and H27 is the hydrogen that I need to omit from the ligand to create the bond.

After creating the .frmod and prepin files for my ligand from the tutorial, I get to the tleap step. My tleap input file looks like this:


source leaprc.protein.ff19SB

loadAmberPrep JRA.prepin

loadAmberParams frcmod2.cro

loadAmberParams frcmod1.cro

x = loadPDB miRFP670nano_BV_h1.pdb

#bond x.86.SG x.148.CAC

saveAmberParm x miRFP670nano_BV.parm7 miRFP670nano_BV.rst7

quit

When the "bond" line is commented, tleap doesn't give errors, but the parm7 an rst7 files do not have the bond between SG and CAC. If I include the bond line, tleap produces this error message:

What am I missing? How do I parametrize this bond correctly? Should I use a different atom type for either the sulfur (instead of SG/SH) or the CAC atom (instead of CM)?


Thank you in advance,
